  Stalham
Around 15 miles north-east of Norwich, surprisingly close to the sea and at the periphery of the Norfolk Broads, which, as every one of us knows, is something we in the county should be proud of.
There are written references to Stalham as far back as the 11th century and it seems the original use of the surrounding land was, unsurprisingly, almost exclusively for agriculture.
Notable buildings are the 15th century perpendicular-styled parish church of St Mary, in the High Street, and Stalham Hall, a 17th century Jacobean manor house on the Old Yarmouth Road.

 Stalham
Stalham has, I knew, a wonderful font, and I was very keen to see it.
Often, this process necessitated hammer blows to remove the bits that would protrude through the plaster, but here at Stalham the panels of this elegant font are carved in relatively shallow reliefs, and so they emerged unscathed in the 1850s restoration.
So there we have it; Stalham is the only church in the kingdom that was unaffected by the Reformation.

 Stalham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Through the 1960s Stalham suffered from a reduction of the agricultural labour force as a result of improvements in agricultural technology.
Beginning in the 1970s, though, housing developments attracted people who took up residence in Stalham but worked elsewhere.
The 15th-century St. Mary's parish church has a rare 15th-century font which has survived because it was buried during the Civil War to prevent its destruction by Oliver Cromwell's forces.
